I made this for my family last Friday. This was my second attempt at making Fettuccine Alfredo (in my life). It definitely turned out better this time! I did make a few changes - I had to use linguine, the one in the box (because TJ's was out of fettuccine), I didn't use FRESH nutmeg, I added shrimp and calamari (my dad loves seafood), and I added more salt than the recipe suggested. I liked that this recipe was simple - simple ingredients and simple steps. Next time, I'd cut back on the nutmeg. I was a bit too generous with it, not knowing how strong it would be. I also made too much linguine and not enough sauce (even though the recipe was doubled: 4 normal people + Andrew and Brian = definitely double everything), so it was a bit dry. I had some parsley so used that for presentation and made some garlic bread to go with the meal... who needs vegetables?
